Sony Xperia Ion owners’ Gingerbread/ICS nightmare seems to be nearing an end, as 4.1.2 update is coming.It is technically still not the cream of the crop in terms of Android versions, but it’s close enough, plus we all know the differences between 4.1 and 4.2 are minor.The update is not rolling out OTA (over-the-air). Instead, you’ll have to pull the update manually via the PC companion software.

A Xperia Ion handset pre-order page has appeared at Negri Electronics that offers the handset for $569.50 unlocked.That sum of money will get you the AT&T-LTE phone with 16GB storage, a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, 4.6-inch 720 x 1280 display and Android Gingerbread.
